  What do I know about Google Earth and Voice Tread? I know that you can add clips that you have made on Voice tread on to Google Earth and search any place in the world for it. On Voice Tread you can make movies and embed them onto Google Earth then visit the place that you embedded the clip in to and it will come up with it when you visit the country. Have I presented material about Google Earth and Voice Tread before? No, this was the very first time that I had used Voice Thread and Google Earth material for this purpose of uploading my own clip to it. Do I understand what I have to do? Is there anything I don’t understand about this activity? At first I did not get what the programme was about and what we were doing with it. But then I got in to it and knew just what I was doing. I understand what I am doing in this activity. What skills and knowledge will I be using? I will be using my computer, organisation and research skills for this project. I will be using some of the information I know about these countries and working on my own mostly without too much help about how to use the programmes. ||  What do I want to accomplish in creating a clip on Google Eartrh? How do I want to interest others in my topic? Or some combination of those goals? I want to accomplish a good clip that says lots of good information about the place in New Zealand I am doing and make show the pictures are good and clear. I want them to want to visit and find out about these places. I want my clips to interest others by making them find out about the places I have done. I want a combination of these goals.  What do I need in order to do this? What materials do I have? What resources do I need? Should I do more research on Google Earth and Voice Tread? I need to be able to access Voice Tread (have a pass word and user name) and Download Google Earth. I have the internet and some research. I need my laptop and the internet. I think I should do more research on Google earth and Voice Tread so then when I next time do a project I could maybe use these programmes and skills. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Who will be looking at this work? How can I appeal to other students? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My teacher, students and my parents because it is on the school website so it can be viewed by anyone at the school. I can appeal to other students by giving them the chance to learn about these countries. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Are there examples of Google Earth and Voice Tread posters or materials that I can look at? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, the teacher has made on for us to get ideas and see an example of what we need to do. There are ones that other people have made on the Voice Tread website and instructions on how to us it and make it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What are the obstacles? What problems may happen? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The programmes might not work and there might be other technical difficulties. It might not save the work. The pictures may be fuzzy when they get resized and not look good so I would have to find different ones. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Can I draw a diagram that will help me to visualise my work? Draw some rough ideas for the clip. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, it would be very helpful if I planned what I was going to do and include in the clip. I could also find some websites before I start that will give me good information for the clips. I could draw lots of different thing to write and say. And what pictures I should include. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">List as many ideas as possible. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What aspects of Google Earth and Voice Tread interest me? What would I want to see on a poster? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The main aspects that interest me are that you can use them together and embed the work from Voice Tread to Google Earth. I would want to see lots of information in the clip and good pictures of what it looks like. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each idea. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Are there any other subjects to consider? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Well for Voice Tread there are not much other subjects but I could off chosen other places in New Zealand to do or the other option was other countries in the world. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What resources (books, websites, etc.) have I been provided with? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I have been provided mostly with the internet. At home I used some books to find out some information about Mt Cook. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What do other people think about this? Do others think I have a good idea? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Other people think that this is a good idea and has lots of information. My parents said that I had lots of good ideas and I was very informative. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Which are the best ideas? Prioritise the 3-5 best ideas. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The best ideas I had were do include a lot of information about the place so people that looked at it had a good idea about the place. Another one was that I used nice and good pictures so that it looked like a nice place and people could see what it looked like very well. I included lots of different images so they could see different angles and thing around it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Explain your reasons for choosing these. What are the arguments for and against each idea? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I chose Mt Cook because it was very popular, interesting and beautiful. I think that it was a good idea. I also chose the statue of the pohutukawa because it very much represents New Zealand and it is in Auckland City. Another place I chose was the disaster in Queenstown in 2001. It was a good idea because it was a big event that lots of people know about. The last one I chose was Finlay Park because i know alot about it as I had been there for camp in year 7. It is very popular because it has lots of opportunities for sports. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Which idea is the best one for completing the task? Which idea is best for accomplishing my goal? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Getting all the information and pictures ready and organised and then lastly put them altogether at the end. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What is my plan? What are the steps to follow? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">My plan is to get all the information and pictures and then once I have it all I put it all together and make the clip on Voice Tread. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How will I keep track of my progress? What are my milestones? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I will keep track of what I have done and what I need to do. My milestones are putting the clips together and embedding them onto Google Earth. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Possible list of steps: <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Research and gather material about my subject. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Revise material and compose text for poster. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Create graphics. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Take pictures.

I have made lots of progress. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Am I doing this correctly? You may need to review your goal for this activity. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I think that I have done all this correctly throughout the time of making the clip. I am doing well with following the plan. Do I need to revise my plan? As you continue, you may discover facts that require changing the plan. No, my plan worked very well and is very helpful. I do not need to change my plan but I might need to add on to it. Am I satisfied with the text/graphics/pictures that I have created? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I think that I had a very good amount and informative lot of text. The pictures I used were good and clear they showed nice description of the place I was doing. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Did I complete the task as originally set out? Did I solve the problem? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I completed the task just how I wanted to and how I had planned to. I had some problems that I solved fine but they did not stop me to much on my plan. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Is the text as interesting or informative as intended? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I used a good a lot and very informative amount of text. I did more than I thought I would. I was very good and I am very proud of it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Are the graphics and images appealing? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, they are all clear and very appealing. The show just what is like as if you were there. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What have I done? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I have made clips of some places in New Zealand. They tell say a bit about the place and have some good pictures of it. I have uploaded the clips onto Google Earth so when I visit that place the clip will be there. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What have I done really well? Is there anything that stands out as particularly good? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think that my images are very good and my text mostly in very informative.

Should I go back and redo anything? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think that some of my pictures did not resize so well so I could go back and make the better or find different ones. I could also have used more images for each clip. It might of been better like that. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Am I ready to communicate my ideas or show/display my work to others? Is the poster ready to be shown to others? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I think others would really like this and think that it was good.

Who is my audience? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I can tell family and friends and maybe other students if they are interested in it. My audience is my family and teacher. And could be other students. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What is the best way to present this to my audience? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The best way to present this to my audience would be to show them and explain what I have been doing in it. Send it to them. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How do I interest other students in my particular subject? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If they want to find out about these places I am doing are about how I used the programme. They might not of seen it before or used it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Did I include the right text/graphics/images to inform and appeal to other students? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes I think that I include the right text and pictures that I was supposed to. I could have added some more pictures. || <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If I had to start this activity all over again, how would I improve my performance? Would I change my work habits? Would I use a different subject or different design? Would I only make small changes? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I would improve it by having more pictures and have them resized better than some turned out. No, I think that my work habits were good and helped very well. I would only make a small change like with the picture sizes. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How have I improved since that last time I worked on a similar task? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think I have made a little bit of improvement with organisation but apart from that not really. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Have I learned anything about my subject or about appealing to others or about presenting information? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, this task ahs taught me a lot about these places around New Zealand but a new a little when I started. I think I have learnt a bit more about presentation now and how important it is. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Can I use that elsewhere? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, I can use it in other projects in subjects I get something similar to or maybe in a job when I am older. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How has my thinking changed as a result of this work? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I think it has changed a bit because I have not don’t this kind of work before so I have had to think differently to complete it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What skills have I learned and developed? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I have learnt to use Voice Thread this involves learning how to upload and embed pictures. I have also learnt how to put the clips on Google Earth and use the programme over all. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Can these skills be applied to other subjects/activities? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes, in other subjects I could use these two programmes and in a job when I am older. These skills could be very helpful. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What problems did I have to solve? Were there obstacles in developing ideas, researching material, or presenting the material? How were they overcome? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I have to change the pictures to JPG because they did not upload onto Voice Tread. And I had some problems getting some pictures because they were blocked at school. No, it was quite easy once I got use to the programmes. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">How did I use the strengths of others to help me? <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: red; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Some people gave me ideas and help when I was stuck. They were helpful when I was choosing the places in New Zealand to do because I did not no many. ||
